The site is a scam. I ordered something and my card was charged, but it never shipped and three attempts to contact them went unreturned. I had to request reimbursement through PayPal.

I’m really, really sorry for this.
After checking, we found out that the package was damaged at the sorting center and never actually left it. Unfortunately, we completely failed to communicate this to you in time, and that’s on us.
The last 2 months have been extremely hard for us. We had a fire in our warehouse, and everything fell apart for a while, orders, emails, replies. We got badly behind with customer support, and you were affected by that. I’m truly sorry.
We’re not a big corporation, just people, and despite trying to keep things running, we didn’t handle this properly. You should have received a response, and you didn’t. I understand your frustration completely.
I’m sorry your trust in us was broken.
Again — my sincere apologies.

They do not respond to emails
I ordered a red Labubu for my granddaughter last month. I have emailed multiple times to check the status of my order and to date haven’t received one reply. My granddaughter keeps asking, “Papa is my red Labubu coming today?” I even called the company, however I don’t speak Japanese and I got charged for an international call.

Never again will I order from them
Never again will I order from them! I ordered cinnamon roll pajamas for my daughter she is a size 12 but apparently our size 12 is not the same as their size 12 it’s smaller so I asked if they have a size 14 and if I can return the size 12.they wouldn’t take the size 12 back and would not not replace it with the 14! Not only that they denied in giving me a refund! Now I’m stuck with an item my daughter can’t even use! Also horrible customer service it is sad that people have these type of business where the don’t do for the customer I say it stealing NEVER AGAIN😡

We’re very sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your order.
After reviewing your order and our conversation history, we would like to clarify the situation:
- You ordered a size 12, which, according to our size chart, corresponds to a height of 115–125 cm.
- After receiving the product, you informed us that it was too small.
- We kindly asked for a photo of the product label multiple times to verify if there had been an error in shipment.
You were initially reluctant to provide this, but when you did, it confirmed that the item you received matched the size you ordered.
Your child's height (as you later shared) is 130 cm, which corresponds to a size 14 in our size chart.
As a small business, we understand that sizing can sometimes be confusing, which is why we ensure that our size charts are available for every product. While we do not offer exchanges for sizing issues, we did offer you the option to return the item at your own expense, per our policy, and receive a refund upon its return.
We regret that you feel disappointed, but we respectfully ask for fairness in the representation of this situation. The item you received was exactly what was ordered, and we upheld our store policies transparently.
If you still wish to return the item, we would be happy to process a refund once it arrives at our return address in its original condition.
We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your time.

RED FLAG
RED FLAG, KEEP AWAY from KAWAII MERCH
I did receive my product but it was not as described.
I ordered the: 24cm Princess Peach Action Figure Toy. The Peach Toy I received was 5cm and was not like the picture on there website.
I wrote to them on Jan 22nd with no reply back
Wrote again on Feb 4th they then reply asking for pictures. I send them pictures on Feb 4th, since then no news from them.
Since I sent them two other messages asking for an update one feb 5th and Feb 10th … no news back
Another fishy thing about there setup is that there is no way to leave a review on there site.
Also the Toy I received is really crapy quality
Please keep away from KawaiiMerch.

Returns are NOT easy!
I ordered two pairs of Minions slippers. They are very cute and well made, but they are the wrong size. I have tried repeatedly to get an response on customer service regarding the return info. Never an answer! They state their return policy is easy with no questions asked. It is everything but that! Stay away unless you are 100% sure of the item!

( About Us Welcome to the KawaiiMerch.com store. Let us introduce a new line of Kawaii products designed with a passion for cuteness! We've established our store in January 2019. Since this time we have become one of the biggest Kawaii merchandise retailers. We stock over 10.000 products in our warehouses in Poland, Singapore, Germany & China, and successfully delivered over 5.000 products to our customers around the world.) we can see already that you are lying in your response but I will continue to elaborate so I can expose you better for other customers that are tricked just like I was tricked!
I ordered an Item for Halloween and paid the express shipping. Your store is .com charging customers in US $ with this been said WHY IS THE ITEM SHIPPED FROM MAINLAND CHINA ??? Explain!!!!! Do you know the definition of drop shipping items , this is not the service we are looking for if I want to get the item from Ali express I can buy it my self the reason the item was purchased from your store is because you suppose to have the item in your hands and ship it express post to the customer, item sat 3 days in China waiting to be picked up. Is this why I paid express shipping ? You are a fraud !

It’s disheartening to receive a review that doesn’t reflect the reality of our business. Since 2015, we’ve been deeply rooted in the kawaii market, and we take great pride in the quality and craftsmanship of the products we offer. Our items are not randomly sourced from third-party sellers; we have long-established relationships with manufacturers in China, Japan, the USA, and Europe, allowing us to maintain strict control over product quality and compliance with safety standards, particularly in regions like the USA, EU, UK, and Australia. This ensures that our products not only look great but are safe for customers, especially for the younger audience that many of our products cater to.
While it’s easy to claim that prices are inflated, there’s far more to consider beyond simple cost. Additionally, the logistical operations we’ve built over the years allow us to ship efficiently, often from local warehouses, ensuring that customers receive their orders promptly. Our products are meticulously inspected to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality and durability, unlike many mass-produced items on other platforms where quality control is often lacking.
We also invite this customer or anyone else to try ordering from any other China-based platform and attempt to ship their order through YunExpress Worldwide Service as we do—it’s simply not possible for the general public to access the level of logistics and reliability that we offer. Our longstanding partnerships with reliable shipping providers allow us to ensure that your order arrives in a timely and secure manner, something that most other platforms cannot guarantee. This is just one more example of the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of our business, from product creation to the final delivery.
Furthermore, it's important to point out that this reviewer has a history of posting negative feedback on multiple businesses, indicating that their reviews might not reflect the actual quality of service they received. We’ve served thousands of satisfied customers worldwide, and the vast majority of our reviews and feedback show how dedicated we are to providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service.
In conclusion, we encourage any potential customers to compare our products, shipping speed, and overall experience to any other platform. Our commitment to quality, customer satisfaction speaks for itself, and we stand behind everything we sell.
UPDATE:
We appreciate your feedback and would like to address your concerns calmly and clearly.
First and foremost, let us clarify that we do not dropship from any third-party sellers. We have our own warehouse in China, among other locations, and we source our products directly from distributors or manufacturers. This allows us to maintain control over the entire process—from product quality to shipping logistics. We have been operating since 2019 with warehouses not only in China but also in Poland, Singapore, and Germany. It is common practice for items to be shipped from the nearest available warehouse for the product, and in your case, the product was sourced from China.
Regarding your claim about express shipping: our records show that you did not purchase express shipping. The shipping method selected was standard, and if you believe otherwise, please kindly provide us with the order confirmation showing the purchase of express shipping, since we do not provide express shipping at all. We would be happy to investigate this further.
We hope this clarifies the situation and addresses your concerns. Please feel free to reach out directly if you have any further questions.
